Description
This is an end-to-end hiking series to complete the Caledon section of the Bruce Trail in 5 hikes.
The hikes will be undertaken at a medium pace of approximately 4 km/hour for approximately 15 kms each hike. There here are many steep and hilly segments in this section of the Bruce Trail so the hikes will require considerable stamina. Please consider your fitness level before registering; this is a group hike, and everyone is expected to keep pace with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.
The weather can be changeable at this time of year, so dress in layers for any possibility. Wear hiking boots and bring hiking poles. Bring a snack, plenty of water and other hydration as needed.
We will be travelling from south to north over the course of the End-to-End. The series will require car shuffles, and everyone will be expected to participate as drivers.
Today’s hike, the fourth of the series, is 16 km in length. Please plan to arrive at the meeting place by 8:15 am as we will start the car shuffle at 8:30 am sharp.
Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
